Lawless hails Town’sDragons double

Last campaign, Hatters had led 3-0 from the first leg, before winning 2-1 at Kenilworth Road, while this year they took a 2-0 advantage to the second leg at the Racecourse Ground.

It had looked plain sailing when George Pilkington converted a 23rd-minute penalty, but second half goals by Adrian Cieslewicz and Andy Morrell left Town bravely clinging on at the end.

Lawless said: “The last 10 minutes, a few of us asked the ref how long was left and he said 10 plus.

“We were like ‘oh great’, because of the way the game was going.

“The lads worked hard though and I think overall we deserved it.

“Last year when we were 3-0 up and they were coming at us, it was a good experience for this.”
